Well here we are at the start of another day so that's a bonus for a start, its 0630 and down here in Devon its cold, wet and blowing like a mad thing. Rather tired after our trip around the earth and then on to Mars only to find it was closed for the bank holiday but there you are that's life you can't always have it the way you want it. If the weather stays like this I reckon its going to be a long lazy day indoors.
Here is an old one you might have heard before but some find it funny and true.
A family gather in the waiting room at the local hospital were a relative is really poorly, the doctor comes over looking rather sombre "I am afraid I'm the bearer of bad news " he says as he surveys the worried faces. "The only hope for your loved one is a brain transplant, its a experimental procedure semi risky and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."
The family sit in silence as they absorb the news. After a while one of the family ask how much does a brain cost ? The doctor quickly responds "£5000 for a blokes brain or "£200 for a woman's brain." The men in the room try not to smile at this and avoid eye contact with the women, but some actually smirk. One bloke unable to control his curiosity blurbs out the question everyone is wants to ask, "Why is the mans brain so much more expensive ?" The doctor smiles at his childish innocence and says, "Its standard price procedure. We have to mark down the price of the woman's brains because they have actually been used."
Oh well that's me told, lets hope today is better that yesterday as it was a really awful one not nice at all weather wise. What ever you have today make the most of it folks and try to keep smiling.

Morning Fred, just love the joke - and so true 😃😃 Whoops, mustn't let hubby see my comment😉. Really miserable morning here as well but hubby had a good night and is feeling better this morning so all's well here. Like you, I think today will be a stay at home day - I fancy making a coffee and walnut cake so you're very welcome to join us for "afternoon tea" 😊😊 Jan xx
Jan that's good news both the fact that hubby had a good night and also about the coffee and walnut cake what time is tea ? as I will have to get a move on to be there on time , enjoy your day in the kitchen using your brain. Fred xx
Hi there our funny but lovely Lyn , I thought you would like that one, hope you and your good friend have a good catch up but at the end of the day its the company that's important. Yes we will have to think where we are going next. Look after yourself and stay safe. Byyyyyyyyyyye for now xxx
Had a lovely catch up with my dear friend today. When I got home, my son text me to ask if I'd have the dog as he was flat out busy in work. So one minute I was cosy at home looking out at the wind and rain and the next minute I was out in it, walking the flipping dog. lol. Needless to say we both got drenched. lol. Anyway the dog is now washed from the muck on the canal and fast asleep on the rug in front of the fire. I am once again watching it through the window. Ew xxx
Oh Lyn poor you. I could say that's what mothers are for, but I am sure your boy will repay you in some way, and at least you had a second friend to chat with today. Stay warm it seems there is more rain on its way, its still blowing well down here. Sleep well after your long wet walk, I expect the wind brought a glow to your cheeks. xxx
Morning Fred, same here weather wise, heating on! Loved the joke not heard it before. Have a nice relaxing day, i was thinking of scooting down to our little town but not in the rain, it will have to be something from the freezer for tea! xx
It looks like we are all stuck with this lot today unless some of you know different, those living across the lake are excused. I thought it might be bad so yesterday I went down to our local Waitrose as stated there is another shop available if required, and bought dinner for today, I know I am a smarty but that's us men thinking ahead, no comment needed Have a nice day indoors xxx
Morning Huggs I reckon Jan is going to get a bigger cake tin at this rate and may have to borrow a few chairs from her neighbours as I am sure there will more going across for tea as the weather does not matter when you are dreaming. Hugs on there way to you, stay safe xxx
Hahahaha, love the joke Fred. Those female brains must have really been used since the discount is so large
Is 6.00 your usual waking time? I was up then due to Rita's alarm going off so she and her co-conspirator could go off to the station to harass commuters about how they should vote. My female brain had not woken up and thought it was 7.30.
And vote-wise, its not that i disagree with her, i don't - i just didn't want to be up just yet. So breakfast under my belt, plus the washing-up, Im off for another kip.
Then Im off for a new PR assessment. Enjoy your day Fred, xxx
Sorry love that was me, maybe I should have had them costing a little more as I keep being told that women are priceless, so I thought maybe just make a token gesture lol Yes I normally wake up at that time no idea why really as its the same no matter what time I go to bed, and once awake that's it I am up and ready to go, where I have no idea. Enjoy your second kip, before Rita returns signing and dancing. Speak later love Fred xxx
Just started drizzling here, looks like its rained pretty well during the night.
Not too cold I hope, I have got Breathe Easy this afternoon will get there about 1 to set up, no cake unfortunately but we do have tea and biscuits, everyone welcome, we have a presentation by the West Midlands Ambulance Service today.
Good morning Fred, its a miserable start to the weather in Manchester today. I liked the joke today. I have a mug that says "The best man for the job is a woman" which my hubby bought me. Have a good day.
Morning Mandy likes your mug very true I have to say, I also like behind every man is a woman normally two paces ids just about right lol honest I do not believe that is the way it should be Mandy, helppppppppppp. xxx
I had to abandon yesterday unforeseen breathing probs with low oxgyen. Much better today ,clearer and brighter .Reminds me of deep breathing at the sea in this wind ,may take a drive there today,2 mins away. Hopefully when I get oxy I will be walking down everyday ,summer is coming ,enjoy everyday it's a pleasure to be alive.x
Pleased you are a bit better today Colours be careful don't go to mad if you walk, I heard summer is a little while away yet, but you can bring us sunshine all the while. xxx
Hi Fred, great joke and very true. It is windy here today but the sun is shining so that's good. Waiting for daughter and grandson to arrive which is always a treat. Have a good day and you take care. xxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Fred, i love the joke and took delight in reading it to Dave; he smiled but made no comment. Weather, lovely yesterday but today, it's cloudy with heavy showers, the sun comes out for a few moments at times , to trap thosr unwise to venture out. Gimmee it stop now, i want to walk, i have to do my 10000 steps, no cake until i do. Save us a bit Lyn. Love Margaret x
I would not expect Dave to enjoy the joke it's a woman' joke, I will find one for him later. How many steps have you done so far Margaret ? I think you will find its Jan that's making the cake unless,I have missed a bit.
Hello Fred, 😀 loved this mornings joke daydreaming boy! I am going out in a minute because the sun has come out yeahhh!🌞 I may not be around tomorrow as I'm catching the ferry over to Ireland at lunch time 😀😸 can I borrow your sea legs please😀 hugs huff xxx💜
Have you all heard "behind every successful woman, is a man who is surprised"! My daughter gave me a plaque years ago with this message. Still have it!
Thank you for all your jokes, I always enjoy reading them. Just to let you know I am in France at the moment and the weather is only slightly better here.
You are more than welcome but its me that should say thank you all for being there. that is an unusual name to be using does undine have a meaning. xx Fred
